Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answer
20、s on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance
21、 and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the worlds last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telec
22、ommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of
23、commerce and communication. For many of the worlds peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century a
24、fter that?Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism(mastery of two languages). Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller
25、spheres-at home, among friends, in community settings-and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing(同化旳)f
26、orces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their nati
27、ve tongues. Linguists are currently using computeraided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient(有活力旳),however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a p
28、owerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous(原生旳,土著旳)communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in _.Aan increasingly i
29、nterconnected worldBmaintaining small numbers of speakersCrelatively isolated language communitiesDfollowing the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is _.Auncertain Bunrealistic Cforeseeable Ddefinite43.Accordin
30、g to the author, bilingualism can help_.Asmall languages become acceptable in work placesBhomogenize the worlds languages and culturesCglobal languages reach home and community settingsDspeakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identity44.Computer technology is helpful for preserving minority
31、languages in that it_.Amakes learning a global language unnecessaryBfacilitates the learning and using of those languagesCraises public awareness of saving those languagesDmakes it easier for linguists to study those languages45.In the authors view, many endangered languages are_.Aremarkably well-ke
32、pt in this modern worldBexceptionally powerful tools of communicationCquite possible to be revived instead of dying outDa unique way of bringing different groups togetherPassage TwoEveryone,it seems,has a health problem。After pouring billions into the National Health Service,British people moan abou
33、t dirty hospitals,long waits and wasted money. In Germany the new chancellor, Angela Merkel, is under fire for suggesting changing the financing of its health system. Canadas new Conservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, made a big fuss during the election about reducing the countrys lengthy medi
34、cal queues. Across the rich world, affluence, ageing and advancing technology are driving up health spending faster than income.But nowhere has a bigger health problem than America. Soaring medical bills are squeezing wages, swelling the ranks of the uninsured and pushing huge firms and perhaps even
35、 the government towards bankruptcy. Fords announcement this week that it would cut up to 30.000 jobs by 2023 was as much a sign of its“legacy ” health care costs as of the ills of the car industry. Pushed by polls that show health care is one of his main domestic problems and by forecasts showing th
36、at the retiring baby-boomers (生育高峰期出生旳人) will crush the governments finances, George Bush is to unveil a reform ;plan in next weeks state-of the union address.Americas health system is unlike any other. The Unite States spends 16% of its GDP on health, around twice the rich-country average, equivale
37、nt to $6,280 for every American each year. Yet it is the only rich country that does not guarantee universal health coverage. Thanks to an accident of history, most Americans receive health insurance through their employer, with the government picking up the bill for the poor and the elderly.This cu
38、rious hybrid(混合物) certainly has its strengths. Americans have more choice than anybody else, and their health-care system is much more innovative. Europeans bills could be much higher if American medicine were not doing much of their Research and Development(R&D)for them. But there are also huge wea
39、knesses. The one most often citedespecially by foreignersis the army of uninsured. Some 46 million Americans do not have cover. In many cases that is out of choice and ,if they fall seriously ill, hospitals have to treat them. But it is still deeply unequal. And there are also shocking inefficiencies: by some measures,30% of American health spending is wasted.Then there is the question of state support. Many Americans disapprove of the “socialized medicine” of Canada and Europe. In fact, even if much of the administration is done privately, around 60% of Americas heath-care bi
